I think we need a bigger following though. Can't do it all by ourselves, can we? Mark Mayo's "FreeBSD In Academia" site pretty much paves the road to ideas on how to get FreeBSD used in schools. I think hitting community colleges would be the best bet in order to start out with, then we can hit specialty schools. DeVry teaches students about "Telecommunication" technology. Such as setting up phone systems, networks and servers. What better sever to use than FreeBSD? We need to promote FreeBSD to them and educate them on how FreeBSD can be used to save money for corporations, and how stable it is. Considering that they're an educational facility, we could educate them that FreeBSD would be the perfect OS to use because BSD was born from an educational enviroment. Now we just have to figure how to get the attention of Proffessors and Teachers in these enviroments. Got any ideas?
